The BBC do not show any adverts in the middle of breaks. You have to pay a licence fee each year and the BBC use there licence fee to make there own programmes.

The embrace life advert is a well known favourite TV advert. The advert gets its message across clearly and actually gives of an emotional impact. The advert manages to draw you in further and further. There is no dramatic scenery or music which means the ad must of been a very reasonable budget.

The Barclays advert had a massive impact on everyone. They are both unique and both had a humorous and a fantasy side to it. It made the product stand out as it was shown throughout the advert and it being used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WlRcXIO5ik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCEQoCXJ_so

2004 onwards:
In 2004, after more than forty years of successful self-regulation of non-broadcast ads, the ASA/CAP system assumed responsibility for TV and radio ads. The newly-formed communications regulator, Ofcom, took the decision, in a move supported by Parliament, to contract-out responsibility for broadcast (TV and radio) advertising to the ASA system in a co-regulatory partnership. The co-regulatory agreement created for the first time in the UK a single regulator for advertising a one-stop shop for advertising complaints. To create the one-stop shop, broadcast equivalents of the non-broadcast institutions (ASA/ CAP/ Asbof) were established. A new industry committee, the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice, was created to write and maintain the Broadcast Advertising Codes. The Broadcast Advertising Standards Board of Finance (Basbof) was established to collect the 0.1% levy on broadcast advertising space costs and an ASA (Broadcast) was launched to administer the Codes. Although there are various constituent parts, the system runs as a single advertising regulator. This is particularly important for members of the public who want a complaints system thats easy to navigate. From under 100 complaints in its first year of operation, the ASA now receives over 30,000 complaints a year. This is mainly due to the fact that the one-stop shop ASA is well known; has a much broader remit and it is easier to complain.

Any international business venture, be it sales, advertising, or travel, are all dependant on the companies at the nation one seeks to do business in. It would work by looking of the most dominant companies in an area, and finding ways to make appointments and making deal, as in any other business. Ex: In the Netherlands, the most efficient way to do business with that area would be to study the local culture, develop an advertising campaign, and present your idea to a company in that area for evaluation.

BBC get funded adverts first started on the radio before TV. The first television advertisement was broadcast in the United States on July 1, 1941 US law, a TV advert had to have the same volume level as the show its playing between doesn't apply on the radio or on the internet. The first TV ad broadcast in the UK was on ITV on 21 September 1955, advertising Gibbs SR toothpaste. The first TV Ad broadcast in the Philippines was on ABS-CBN in 1960, advertising Tide detergent powder. Until the early 1990s, advertising on television had only been affordable for large companies willing to make a significant investment, but the advent of desktop video allowed many small and local businesses to produce television ads for airing on local cable TV services. In many countries, including the United States, television campaign advertisements are considered indispensable for a political campaign. In other countries, such as France, political advertising on television is heavily restricted, while some countries, such as Norway, completely ban political ads. In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time now includes 22 minutes of programming and eight minutes of advertisements - six minutes for national advertising and two minutes for local.
